Pro Tip: Add a mitered edge tile built-in shower niche. It requires extra planning but the results are worth it.
It takes extra planning, but adding a mitered edge tile built-in shower niche is so worth it. We love how it adds an elevated look to any shower, plus it’s the perfect spot for all your shower essentials.
Pro Tip: Keep your kitchen cabinets symmetrical by using faux fronts.
Want a larger drawer in your kitchen all while keeping things symmetrical? This pro tip is for you! Use a faux front to help your cabinets line up seamlessly.
Pro Tip: You don’t always need carpet to warm up a space. Add radiant heat to your home to keep things toasty.
By heating the floor rather than the surrounding air, it provides indirect, diffused heat that radiates from the floor up. Though it’s a splurge, it’s so worth it in the end!
Pro Tip: Panel your appliances to match your cabinetry.
One of our favorite ways to achieve a seamless kitchen design is by paneling appliances to match your cabinetry! Choose panel-ready appliances and collaborate with your contractor or cabinet maker to create perfectly matching panels, complete with coordinated hardware.
Pro Tip: Miter your tile edges for a clean finish and professional look.
Instead of using trim, try mitering! This technique involves cutting the tile edges at a 45-degree angle for a professional finish at corners. By removing the underside or “biscuit,” you can neatly join two tiles together for a seamless look.
Pro Tip: Need extra sleeping arrangements but don’t have the space? Add built-in bunk beds!
Built-in bunk beds are one of our favorite ways to add extra accommodations while still maintaining style. Here’s one of our favorites that people of all ages will love.
